Looking for input on a decent gun for all those hard-to-reach places, like down inside the cowl, under the dash, etc, cuz my guns wont reach into tight spots. Ive seen short cups for some Devilbiss guns, and I assume thats what they were for, but I use a Sharpe. Im sure a short cup would help, but I think just a touch-up gun would fit into more places, right? Or does someone have a secret method they wanna share? lol Thanks for any help, CDJr

This is a great little gun. Unlike most gravity touch up gun, it has a side mounted cup. This lets you orient the cup in any direction you want. To spray under something (upsidedown) you simply rotate the cup so it is in the same direction as the tip, facing up. It's tough to explain in words but take a look at one and you'll see what I mean. Mini jets have a top mounted cup which prevents you from spraying upsidedown unless using something like a 3M PPS system...They are about the same price.

Just my 2 cents.

Both the DeVilbiss SRI and the Sata Mini Jet are good guns. I like the SRI because it's a little larger and is a little more versitile with the 8oz cup.

Thanks for the responses yall. I really was looking for something a lil less expensive for now though. Maybe like one of those Astros? Are they acceptable to use for short-term? :)
